Default 92 Camry V6 heats up with A/C on

I have a 92 V6 that runs fine with no A/C but with the A/C on the needle goes to red. Turn off the A/C, and the needle returns to normal. Flushed and replaced coolant and thermostat. Nothing coming from tail pipe or leaks that we can see.

Any thoughts? Gotta have the A/C here in Florida, even year round! Car has 143K miles.

Default RE: 92 Camry V6 heats up with A/C on

When the A/C compressor turns on, both radiator fans should also. This is the compressor being on, not just the A/C switch being on.

If no fans, the engine can overheat.
